Herbed Tahini Tacos de Papa

If you're vegetarian and have ever been to a Mexican (or Tex-Mex) restaurant you're probably familiar with Tacos de Papa. Spanish for potato tacos these bites can come in many forms...and it's often a nicely fried form! I decided to make a healthier version with a medley of potatoes baked in the oven. The flavor is pumped up with the addition of herbed tahini sauce, giving these tacos a Middle Eastern flair.
